Marilyn Pinsker has been making things with her hands — knitting, crocheting and doing needle work, for as long as she can remember.

The first time Elisa Greenberg volunteered to pick up inmates from the ICE detention center in Aurora, she knew it was an important thing to do. She didn’t realize how personally meaningful is was going to be as well. 

Imagine what’s in the minds of little children who are being told they need to stay at home from school, can't see their friends, can’t hug their grandparents, and that they have to wear masks, like all the adults around them, when they are outside around others.

Welcome to our new series about people in our community who are volunteering and making a difference in this difficult time.
